Are you thinking of honoring a dead pet and recreating the memories you once shared? Have you thought of the best ways to memorize and mourn your furry friend? If you are looking for such an idea, you can consider getting an artist or workshop to make a Rainbow Bridge plaque for you. Below are some ideas on where and how to get experts who can make it.
1. Look for a local workshop
If there is a local rock- and stone-carving workshop in your area, it would be a good place to start. You can ask someone to suggest some of the best artists they may have hired before you for such needs too. Better yet, talking to a local artist will make it easier for you to have a one-on-one consultation. It would also make it easier to detail everything that you need from them and verify what they make before buying.
2. Search the internet
The internet is another good place to start searching for the best artists or workshops for rock and stone carving works. You may begin by searching for such keywords as "the best Rainbow Bridge plaque designers near me" or add your city. The search engine will do its magic and filter the most qualifying ones depending on your location filter. The populated results will also have their location and contact details, making it easier for you to make contact and consultations.
3. Look for referrals and recommendations
The other idea would be to talk to people close to you and ask them to recommend the best artists that they may know. Close acquaintances, family members, neighbors, and colleagues can suggest some reliable workshops for you to consider too. From the many suggestions that you get, compare them, check their portfolios, and ask for their quotations. You can then use those for further vetting.
4. Ask for portfolios
If you have several workshops already, ask to see their portfolios beforehand. These may include pictorial and video presentations of their past works or their artists in action. With their portfolios, it should not be hard to gauge whether they can deliver.
5. Compare quotations
Lastly, compare what each artist will charge for the work. You can ask for their estimates ahead of time. Compare several of them from the most qualifying ones and choose the most promising yet affordable.
